007's M [Dame Judi Dench] as you've never seen her...

I had no idea she played Sally Bowles in Cabaret in 1968




Funny to hear that brittle hoarseness of her voice was there 40 years ago, too. It's funny, though, because as brilliant an actress as she is, she's not quite guttersnipe enough for Sally Bowles in my mind. Still, it's cute to see her in something completely different.

How fun! Actually, I think she sounds as if she had a cold when this was performed. I once performed in an opera where the lead had pneumonia...but as they say: the show must go on. He went back to the hospital after the show!!

How bizarre! But Dame Judi will almost always win in celebrity death matches that I make up in my head.
